Hello;
The NCATE school librarian standards for initial preparation have been updated. On October 24, the Specialty Areas Studies Board of the National Councilfor Accreditation of Teacher Education approved the 2010 ALA/AASL
Standards for Initial Programs for School Librarian Preparation (attached). All programs submitting program reports in Fall 2012 will be required to use theupdated standards. Programs submitting prior to Fall 2012 may use eitherthe 2010 standards or the 2003 standards.
The 2010 standards consist of five standards, each with four elements. The five standards are Teaching for Learning, Literacy and Reading, Information and Knowledge, Advocacy and Leadership, and Program Management and Administration. Each standard is followed by a rubric for use by reviewers, a research piece to support that standard, and references.
Thanks.
